Oh My God
It's Monday.
Again.
WTF?!
************
This weekend was quiet and that was great. I alternatively avoided going out to dinner/out for drinks/to the beer festival/to a party and assorted other things that I felt like I "should" do, but that I just didn't have the energy for.
I still don't have energy.
My chest is croupy and all the running has drained me to nothing. Except the fat - that's still hanging on for dear life. *rolls eyes*
************
It was gorgeous this weekend. I did see pumpkins (bought some) and the air show at the base - didn't even have to leave the neighborhood. The planes were all overhead. It was insane. I've never seen one before but holy cow - it was a mix of terrifying and surreality and sheer amazement.
I know that they are instruments of war and destruction, but there is an unbelievable beauty and grace about those planes that makes me think that even in the midst of our self-destruction, humanity seeks out the best parts of ourselves and highlights it.
Mattie was not impressed. They were loud and it scared him. He hid his face and cried. Bless.
***********
I finished the run 2.2 miles everyday for a week plan. I ran 15.4 miles last week. Holy cow. I have to say - it got a lot easier through sheer repetition. I need to kick up my speed though. A lot.
I brought my running stuff to go to ASC after work today - if I feel like it - and try and see if I can't bust out a few 11.5 minute miles. If I walk between them that should help. But it's getting embarrassing that I'm not improving when I'm putting so much effort into maintaining.
I shall skip my "I'm frustrated" rant in favor of silence.
***********
Verizon pissed me off. I may switch to AT&T and get the damn iPhone, which is what I wanted in the first place. And the patronizing manager that I exchanged words with yesterday can suck it.
Again.
